(7/12/10)Bridget came over with her girls it was fun to let the girls swim, and dress up and then we went out for lunch. Later when Jason got home we swam again, and yes that is Abby swimming with NO floaties, she wanted to take them off so bad. We let her try swimming and she did pretty good! She would even hold her breath and go under!

Abby's Princess Party

(7/11/10)Today we celebrated Abby's 4th birthday, she had Cinderella their and most of her closest friends and family. When Jason got back from picking up the cake, Abby thought it was great, and got in a daze looking at the cake and I got some cute pictures. This was the food table, although I did not get a picture of the food on the table. I got alot of ideas from blog sites, and had sooo much fun decorating. The theme was "princess" but not too much of the disney princess, more like anything, sweet; crystal, glitter, tulle, pink, purple, stars, hearts, and more glitter. Abby was in awe of Cinderella really being at her house. Before the party started Cinderella was in Abby's room waiting on everyone to arrive, while I was in their talking to her Abby peeked around the corner and the look on her face was priceless, she just stared at her and looked so nervous, it was really sweet. She hugged her and they got to know each other. After the girls picked them out a dress and high heel shoes, they went to Cinderella's table where they got make-up, glitter in their hair and they picked out a best friends necklace and ring and then Cinderella used her wand and made them into a real princess. This is one of Abby's friends, Breanna that she goes to pre-school with she had another party to go to and could not stay long, but she got her make-up done, and I sent her home with all the party favors: castle magnet craft, tiara, lip gloss, necklace, ring, magic wand, coloring page, crayons, and choclate suckers in heart and start shapes. Some of the little princesses!! After the girls had been served their food they were entertained, Cinderella told the story in a very theatrical way, she would break out in song, and then continue the the story. It was amazing, I was impressed, she could really sing and the girls loved it. Later she had the girls up with their wands and they sang Bibbity Bobbity Boo! SO CUTE! After helping serve cake and ice cream, Cinderella helped Abby open all her presents. All of her friends. They were hugging Cinderella over and and over and when it was time to go, they all dashed to the door upstairs to watch her leave, she said little girls always want to see what kind of car she leaves in. They waved and just sort of stood on the front steps for a minute like they were sad she was leaving. I think they all had a good time, and I am so thankful she has such sweet friends and they all have sweet momma's and I am friends with them all. Abby, Tabor and Abbie playing with her new barbie make-up kit from Mrs.Kelley her K3 teacher who wasn't able to make it. They LOVE make-up.

Happy Birthday Sara

(7/10/10)We were invited to Sara's 2nd birthday party on Saturday, it was red white and blue theme. They served BBQ and yummy homemade ice cream. Abby had fun, but we had to leave a little early because tomorrow is her birthday party!!

New booster seat.

(7/3/10) So she has had her new seat for a few days now but I just had to post it. She was tired of her "baby" carseat and wanted a booster, I finally gave in but I could have kept her in the "baby" seat a lot longer :)

Saturday

(6/26/10)I love Saturday's like this, nothing planned and we just leave with no plans! We did a little shopping ate a great lunch and ended up at the movies! This was Abby's very first time to go to the movies, and she loved it. We watched Toy Story 2! Later we went to the Sylvan Springs Homecoming celebration at the park, we picked up Tabor along the way, we didn't stay long but the girls got to jump for a few minutes.

First time in our pool.

(6/20/2010)Finally! We finally got our pool open, but it wasn't from lack of trying. We have had the hardest time, we have bought chemicals and lots of them. We finally had to drain the pool and start over, draining it and cleaning it and getting the last bit of water/green out was a job BUT now it's ready to go!! Abby got to swim in it when it was half full, she could touch but still swim she had a ball. This was later when some friends came over, let the summer begin!!

Choo Choo

(6/19/10)Since Aunt Donna had Haley up here from Florida for a few days she and GranJan wanted to take them somewhere, so... they went to ride the Choo Choo! They had a great time I heard. Later they all went to WalMart and they bought bathing suits, floaties, new dresses for church, and much more, they were loving it. They went to Aunt Donna's to swim in her pool and then all took baths, Abby wanted to spend the night so she did, this was the first time to spend the night somewhere besides grandparents, she is such a big girl. They went to church and then we went out to pick her up.

PG VBS

(6/18/10)Friday night PG had the program for bible school with water slides afterwards. They had hotdogs and snocones too. They all got to play and eat before it started to rain! Aunt Donna and Haley came to watch the girls and they were so happy to see Haley.

Sunday

(6/12/10) Sunday morning Plesant Ridge had the VBS program, we were in the balcony and couldn't get good pictures but they sang songs and did the hand bells, it was sweet. Then Abby and Madison came to sit with us and kept dancing and singing in their seats when they would play the songs, Carlee didn't make it but she went all week too, they have got to spend alot time together. Then we went to Kennedy's Tea Party to celebrate her 5th birthday. They had big sunhats, boas and pearls. They ate fancy finger foods on real china and punch in tea cups. Too cute.

Grammy and GranJan and Aunt Jeanna were all teachers so they had lots of attention. They sang cute songs and Abby and Tabor were cracking each other up. Afterwards we had hot dogs and homemade ice cream.

Abby's Bible School Horse

(6/11/10)Abby and Tabor were racing their horses in the yard, Abby had on her bathing suit with panties and a belt on, I love her style. The horse they made at VBS was too cute!

VBS

They had so much fun at Bible school, I can't wait to see what all they have learned.

Thanks so much for the haircut Tabor.

6/5/10 Abby and Tabor were playing so good but little did I know they were playing hair salon and Tabor CUT ABBY'S HAIR! Her hair was pulled up on the sides and was just messed up some but they had been playing all day so I didn't think anything about it, but when she got out of the bathtub and I could not comb through it I slowly realized she had gotten a haircut! She gave her a trim above the ear and on top, it's not too bad but it sticks up and out some and I'm sure it will get worse as it grows out. :) Tabor cut her own hair too, she has never ever had bangs but she does now. I took these pictures the next day or so on the way to VBS, I think Tabor looks cute.

Slip-N-Slide Fun

6-5-10 The girls had fun playing on the slip-n-slide, they have a great imagination and made up all kinds of games.

Happy Birthday Breanna
